Heart of Yours

Chapter 28

Samika's POV

Earlier Devon was actually telling me something. About Alanna. And all I could hear was this constant buzz at the end of my bargain. I know what I have to do. But I don't want a spirit to constantly remind me what it wants.

"Kill the one you love the most"

"Kill the one you love the most"

"Kill the one you love the most"

"Kill the one you love the most"

"Kill the one you love the most"

That's all I keep hearing these days and I am so sick of it. I thought I was given time until six full moons. And it's not even one full moon yet. The nearest one is in two days. And I plan on meeting The Madfurs on the same day.

I close my eyes, and chant for the spirit to reach me. But it doesn't work. Or maybe it did. Because suddenly, I feel the change in energy and the soft wind in my ear, ready to whisper things.

There is the voice of the spirit, and then there is the spirit itself. There are two things. The one I often hear is the voice of the spirit. Not the spirit himself. The only time he laughed out loud, was when I realized he was a man.

"What is it, beautiful wolf?" He asks me,.and this is the first time the spirit had referred to me as a beautiful wolf.

"I want to know what I need to kill. I can't kill Devon," I whisper, making sure not to wake anyone up. I am here at the pond. Devon is in the pack house sound asleep. Everyone in the pack is sound asleep except me.

"Hmm, let me see" the spirit says and every passing second makes me nervous. There has to be another way. There has to be! There f*****g had to be!!

"Do you remember the mantra you chanted to revisit your memories? To know what's important to you?" He asks me and I shake my head.

"O mater carissima. O terra cara. O dilecti coeli. O inferne dilecte. Duc me tecum. Accipe me unde venio. Accipe me ubi ego sum. Accipe me ubi vis esse. Me carpe alicubi. Eripite me et egredimini. Suscipe me et fac me tibi. O mater carissima. O terra cara. O dilecti coeli" the spirit mutters in my ear and I now remember what he was talking about.

"The same mantra is going to tell you what you love the most. Or what you will eventually love the most. This is the last time I can be of help, little beautiful wolf" the spirit says again and vanishes.

Just like that, I open my eyes. Now I know the spell. All I have to do is chant it for eleven times so it can show me the series of sequences that can lead to what the spirit wants from me.

I don't even think twice before I close my eyes and start chanting again.

"Then who am I?" I ask mom.

"We adopted you from foster care. We needed an heir. And the moment I saw you, I was drawn to you. You held my finger with your tiny little hand and smiled at me. You were just a year old when we found you there" she tells me.

I was in foster care? Of course I wouldn't remember because I was one year old. Can one year old be in foster care? I don't know. But that makes a lot of sense and now I even start to wonder about my biological parents. Who might they be? Are they alive or dead?

"Why? Dad's assistant was pregnant and was what you told me earlier. Why another heir?" I ask mom.

"No the assistant had a miscarriage. And a few weeks later I fired her. I was afraid he was going to replace me because of my infertility issues. That's how I proposed to him the idea of adoption. If we get a child and show the world that the Adams now has an heir, at least he would think twice before replacing me. Because by then everyone in the country would know that we are happy and have a child. And making another woman pregnant can make it to the headlines and in a bad way" mom says.

Wow. No one would have thought of it. And no channel actually got a doubt like .. how did you hide a baby for a year? Or we've never seen you pregnant or anything? Maybe not. Back then the media wasn't this way I guess. So it was easier to fake.

I give mom all my attention again and she tells me how she was constantly worried and paranoid that dad would replace her. So instead of being a mother and taking care of me, she handed me to Sarah and went behind him.

Wherever my dad went, my mom followed. Even if it's for business tours abroad as well.

That explains so much. Why were they never around?

.

.

I woke up with a jolt. I look around and I am still in the pack house. And Devon is still beside me. That was what happened over a year ago. That was a conversation my mom and I had.

I don't know why these dreams are falling in a sequence these days. But they are. And it is not even time for the sun to rise yet. It's still past midnight. And I am going super crazy over here.

What's wrong with me? What is happening to me? Did I forget something? Did I miss any details?

"You don't want this!" He whispers again, slightly pulling away and I just want to smack his head right now. One more time he says something like this, I really am going to walk out and never even think of kissing him again. In my lifetime.

"Says the man who has his hands on my v****a," I whisper. That made him smirk.

I see his eyes turn a little darker with the lust he is experiencing and I grind my hips against his. I know what it does to a man. And I want to see what it does to a man like Devon.

I feel his excited member poke my core and I already feel sparks making me go weak. Every part of my body now needs him. Nothing even happened yet and I am already wanting a release. I want more of him. I want all of him.

"If you don't stop grinding now," he says and pauses to say something else but I don't give him that chance.

I do exactly that, making his head fall back and I hear a series of curses. His eyes are now a lot darker than how they usually are. And I see even his wolf is fighting for some control.

My fingers find their way to his black hair and I pull his head towards me making him look at me. And he looks so hot right now. I don't know why Moon Goddess paired him as my mate.

"Are we only doing this or?" I ask and he smirks. That kind of smirk that says something. He is in his playful mode.

Devon wants to play with me and tease me until I beg him. But I am not someone to beg. I am someone who takes the charge. So I caught him by surprise with my next move. I pull his hair harder and push his face towards my chest and his mouth assaults my skin. I grip his hair tighter and arch my back forcing him to take the attentive buds to his mouth and he does exactly what I want him to do.

I feel his length at the base of my core and I gasp at the feeling. He must be huge and I am not looking down now. I am sure it is huge to the point I might lose confidence. Nyle wasn't like this. I know that there is no point with comparisons, but the thing right now with Devon is something else. Something I haven't felt before and something I know I'll be thinking about for the next few days.

"Tell me you don't want this" Devon whispers as he looks at me.

And before I even got a chance to answer, he pushed himself into my v****a making me scream. Moments of horrible pain later my body fills with pleasure and I nod my head at him. His length is literally too much to take in.

He kisses me on my lips probably to help my heavy moans fade away as he slams into me once again. Once he feels his length is inside me, he pulls back only to slam into me again and I let out a cry. This is nothing like what I have had before.

The sparks are only making it a lot better and I have no idea what to do. So I hold him for my dear life as equal amounts of pain and pleasure takes over my entire body.

"Do you-"

"f*****g don't stop!!" I shout at him. This is not the time to make a small talk or a dirty talk. I am f*****g euphoric right now and I don't want anyone.. even Devon to distract me from this.

The room is filled with heat and air is heavy with s*x, and I hear Devon grunt, curse, groan and moan. It somehow feels like music to my ears. I dig my nails into his back once again and look into his eyes but his eyes are freaking rolling back with all the pleasure. I bet I am in the same state too. Maybe even worse state than him.

My left hand reaches his ass and I gently grip it making him let out a small sound that tells me that he liked what I just did. I bite his neck to control my moans and that makes him moan harder.

"I'm.. I'm.."

"No! Wait!!!" He says, suddenly his voice gets all dominant and before I know, his thrusts get harder and deeper.

I pull away from the kiss and rest my head against the hard wooden headboard and bite my lower lip, trying to stifle the screams that want to come out of my mouth. I feel his hand around my neck and I open my eyes to look at him. So I do. I open my eyes to see the hottest man alive.

He looks perfectly sculpted and I wonder how a person like him is mated to me. I hold his jaw and he grunts as he goes faster.

"Oh My God, this feels so good" He whispers, gripping my neck a little tight that sends heat waves down to my core.

"Right there. Right f*****g there" I shout as he hits my g-spot.

I curl my toes when he pulls me in for a kiss and we both release at the same time. His whispers fill my ears and my eyes get all droopy.

"So The Madfurs are the deadliest pack of the werewolves. They spend most of their time in wolf form. And no one knows what they look like in their human form. People who have seen are no more. No one lived to tell the tale," Tyler says again and now this is getting interesting.

"Alpha Dimitri was the ruler. And his mate Luna Athena. They were the power couple. Though Luna Athena was of regular werewolf origin, she was made strong after Alpha Dimitri found that she was his mate. Anyone who dared cross them ended up dead. They killed for sport. Even Alpha Jerome or Alpha Judah for that matter, were afraid of even raising their eyebrow at Dimitri or Athena," he tells me and I take a sip of the water from the glass before me.

"The pack was called The Madfur Pack and the members were called The Madfurs. They are werewolves, yes. But an entirely different breed. They never had an Omega. No one is weak enough. One is truly considered a Madfur only after they officially killed ten people that too in the span of a week after they finished their training. They truly were mad," he says.

And why haven't I heard of this? No one told me that such cruelty still exists.

"Why do you keep referring to them in past tense? Where are they now?" I ask him and he nods, telling me that he is slowly getting there.

"It was their own Moon Goddess festival day that all the Alphas together chose to strike The Madfurs. Every Alpha took a part in that. Now I am talking about something that happened twenty three years ago, almost. So I only know half the story since even I was too young back then," he says.

Cass joins us and sits by my side on the couch. We both listen to the story Tyler is telling. Just so we get a better insight on what we are searching for. Or more like who we are searching for.

"But before any other Alpha did make their move, Alpha of The Autumn pack did the deed. They waited patiently until everyone including Alpha Dimitri and Luna Athena got on their knees to pray to the Moon Goddess. When they least expected, there was a rain of arrows dipped in raw wolfsbane. Even more deadlier than anything in the world for a werewolf. Alpha Dimitri and Luna Athena tried their best to stop it and save at least a few of their pack members. But what I heard through stories was that they were all wiped out. Until recently Devon came across a group of The Madfurs," Tyler explains.

So was Devon the first one who saw them again? After all these years of staying low and doing nothing?

"But they didn't do anything more than just growl at him. Devon didn't pay attention. He thought that they were the only survivors after what happened that day," Cass says this time, and I now assume she knows the next part.

"Upon my word, I tell you faithfully

Through life and after death you are my queen;

For with my death the whole truth shall be seen.

Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly;

Their beauty shakes me who was once serene;

Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen." I hear a man say and I turn around.

I found a couple. They might be in their late twenties. They are sitting on a bench as they are witnessing the sunrise.

"You tell me that poem every single day. Don't you get bored of it?" The girl asks him, making him smile.

He is looking at her the way Devon looks at me. With so much of love. And I am just standing here and smiling at them because it is pleasant to watch.

"As if you don't tell me anything in return," he jokes and she rolls her eyes.

"Well, I have one today too," she says, making him chuckle.

"There is a silk ladder unrolled across the ivy

There is

That leaning over the precipice

Of the hopeless fusion of your presence and absence

I have found the secret

Of loving you

Always for the first time" she says and the man pulls her closer and kisses her.

I walk towards them but they don't seem to notice me. So I walk closer to them.

"Do you perhaps know -" I try talking to them but they are watching the sunrise as if I am not here.

So I stand before them and wave my hand. Their eyes are firmly fixated on the sunrise before me that they aren't even bothered to see me.

"I know this pack means a lot to you. But we waited for two decades and more for our Alpha to finally reach us. Now that we reached her, we wouldn't stop here. We will do everything we can, to make her trust us,"

This is actually the big hint reveal. What do you think that the spirit wants? Throw in your opinions and they will all fall into place eventually! ❤️
